Default seat covers

sweet grief so many strange questions.

wanting to find some quality seat covers for the ute....I enjoy messing around with timber and can get dirty but then when going for a drive/trip would like to show off the seats.

BUT not the usual pull this piece, run it through this loop, pull hard and tie.
rather straps and buckles some sort of cover that can be in place and then easily removed or put back in place. Yes an old beach towel or bed sheet would work but...........

Maybe buy a decent set of covers and get an auto upholsterer to do their magic

Use those covers (good) mechanics use to protect the interior

Black Duck type or if you want to be flash some R M Williams, but then you'll need the matching mudflaps.

I have a set of neoprene waterproof seat covers from Global Automotive in my Ranger, but they only supply for Ranger and Everest. You could otherwise look at the following -

https://mycustomcar.com.au/getaway-n...silver-stitch/
https://mycustomcar.com.au/getaway-n...-black-stitch/

https://supertrim.com.au/ford-falcon...at-covers.html

Considering I work in all conditions, having the waterproof element is great peace of mind.



I also have the factory neoprene seat covers in my XR6, but they pretty average and hard to find now.

Tonz,

What about putting all the future questions into one “Custom Ute Improvements” type thread?

Do these and the custom units allow for airbag activation
I work quite a bit in the rain and the seat gets wet and the seats stain easily after I visit the beach- salt I guess from my legs
